The 3M tape used for build up the stock

... is the 3M Vetrap, in case anyone is looking for it. It's made to bandage animals, but obviously has many more applications than that. But don't be a dummy like me and check human pharmacies for "vet wrap." Vetrap contains latex, so individuals with that particular allergy shouldn't use it.

There are other manufacturers who make the same kind of tape. There are also manufacturers who make the "human version" (without latex). Johnson & Johnson's Secure-Flex Wrap seems to be a version of it. It's also being marketed as elastic athletic wrap (from Up & Up, for example). The human stuff may cost a few dollars more per roll. You can probably find these in pharmacies or big box stores.

If you're not afraid of a little latex, you can usually get vetrap at farm supply stores like Tractor Supply. It might even be a little cheaper.

3M Vetrap is cheaper than the human stuff by a few dollars, but some people (like me) live a lot closer to pharmacies, Target, K-Mart, etc. than Tractor Supply. So I just thought I'd save someone from making a long trip.

I ordered a case of the stuff from Amazon last year. It was a tad less expensive when I ordered it...but still a good deal at this price.

I like camo form, looks a lot better to me and doesn't have latex in it, also if you look on eBay sometimes u can get a whole bunch of it cheap.

Lord make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true, and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me.  Grant me victory over my foes, and those  that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be if I only had my Gun; and loard if today is truly the day that you take me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.
